Saudi authorities arrested an 11-year-old boy after he was caught selling drugs for a gang of four adult dealers, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

Ajel said the Saudi boy is the youngest drug dealer to be arrested in the Riyadh province, adding that a member of that gang was also seized.

“He was arrested as he was preparing a quantity of hashish to sell it in the street…he was with an adult dealer who was also arrested,” the paper said, quoting Abdul Ilah Al Shareef, secretary general of the national committee for combating drugs.
